Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 194 Liu Bei

Xun Yu gave a wry smile, looked at Liu Ye and said, "Liu Ziyang originally wanted to relax with me for a while, but he has brought me a new task!"

Liu Ye waved his hands hurriedly and laughed loudly: "Don't rely on me. If you do, just wait until the Prime Minister's teacher returns and scold Xu Huang, haha!"

The two of them felt at ease in their hearts. As long as the major issue of food and grass was solved, all other supplies would not be a problem. Presumably the letter from Hefei was just a request for additional troops or other siege equipment. Xun Lingjun in Xuchang had already prepared and everything was under his control, so he did not panic.

"Send it up!"

Xun Yu stood up, stretched out his hand and said hello.

"Here!"

The attendant in the mansion responded, took two steps forward in a hurry, and handed the letter in his hand to Xun Yu.

At this time, another attendant walked over quickly and hung an angry wind lamp in a slot next to the stone table.

"This Xu Huang, I'm afraid he thinks there are not enough people, so let me transfer him from somewhere else!"

Xun Yu slowly opened the letter while smiling.

"This……"

"Master, the imperial doctors will be here soon. Let them take a look at your body first and then make a decision, okay?"

The severe stomach pain caused by stomach spasm made his facial features distorted and he could not speak for a long time.

"Not to mention it's midnight!"

Xun Yu's arm leaning on the table trembled, knocking over the wine glass next to him and rolling it to the ground!

The old housekeeper asked with a worried look on his face.

"No... no need!"

Liu Ye saw Xun Yu's face changed drastically. The smile he had originally had had not completely disappeared, but was replaced by an incredible confusion and shock!

"Hurry up and get dressed as a doctor!"

Liu Ye also put the wine glass in his hand on the table, gently rubbed the body of the wine glass with his hand, and looked at the letter in Xun Yu's hand quietly.

After a long time, Xun Yu finally calmed down, holding the table with both hands and panting.

"Xun Lingjun..."

"Wow... wow!!"

"Boom!"

"It's an old habit, why make such a fuss?"

"Owner!"

Xun Yu suddenly coughed violently, put the letter in his hand on the table, pinched his waist and abdomen with both hands, and his originally thin body became even thinner.

"how?"

Xun Yu suddenly opened his mouth and spit out all the wine he had just drank while drinking with Liu Ye.

Suddenly, the originally quiet courtyard was in chaos. The housekeeper and several important people in the mansion all hurried over and surrounded Xun Yu.

"No need, please step aside for now. No one can enter without my permission."

Xun Yu waved his hand and then said after a moment of silence: "Liu Ziyang is a distinguished guest in my house. How can I neglect it? I will bring the whole cup and plate to my house. Zi Yang and I still have something to discuss."

"Well..." The old steward looked at his master's old body and uncomfortable appearance, feeling extremely distressed. However, he had followed Xun Yu for many years and knew his master's temperament best, so he had no choice but to lead his family to retreat and send the invited royal servants away. The doctor was placed in the guest room, waiting for Xun Yu to finish his official duties before conducting a diagnosis.

"Xun Lingjun, what happened in Hefei?"

After the maids removed the rest of the table, rearranged the cups and plates, and then all left, Liu Ye asked in a low voice with confusion.

"How is it possible! How is it possible..."

After Xun Yu took a short rest, the pain in his abdomen was slightly better. Although his brows were still furrowed at this moment, the main reason was because of something in his heart and sadness.

"Is it possible that Xu Huang, Hefei, is still saying that there is a shortage of food, so why don't we come here to get food supplies?!"

Liu Ye's heart was beating wildly and he asked with lingering fear.

During the prime minister's first southern expedition, he was appointed as the commissioner to raise grain and grass in Jizhou. With his ability, everything goes smoothly without any pressure.

However, Ma Chao's attack and the Prime Minister's return to the army caused panic among the people, turmoil in the court, and a sudden increase in the amount of food and fodder that was tossed between them. Despite this, Liu Ye still lived up to his trust and raised enough grain and grass in advance to transport it to Wancheng in full compliance with the prime minister's requirements.

Until the Prime Minister proposed a plan to march troops from the east!

Things changed suddenly, and the situation changed again and again! !

Hefei suddenly gathered an army of 300,000 people, and the day and night expenses were huge. Even if Wancheng distributed food and grass, it would only be a drop in the bucket.

So all the pressure came to Liu Ye. However, at this time, the food and grass in Youzhou and Jizhou were basically exhausted. It was also a time of drought, and the difficulty increased, exceeding the load of the people of Jizhou.

That's why Xun Yu left Xuchang and went to Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places to help Liu Ye raise food and grass, and by the way participated in the grand gathering of Xu Shaoyue Danping on the top of Mount Tai.

I originally thought that after surviving this disaster, all the hardships would be rewarded. Unexpectedly, before I could take a breath, Hefei Xu Huang's letter arrived again.

And looking at Xun Yu's panicked expression, it's hard to imagine that besides urging him to eat, what else could make him lose his bearing!

"See for yourself..."

Xun Yu shook his head feebly, and gently pushed the letter on the table in front of Liu Ye with his hand.

Liu Ye's fingers trembled slightly, and he took advantage of the weak light of the angry wind lamp to open the letter from Hefei!

"Xun Lingjun Taijian:"

"Ever since the Prime Minister gathered troops in Hefei, food and grass have never arrived. However, troops and horses are gathered from all directions, and the expenses are getting higher and higher. Xu Huang is so worried that he can't sleep every day."

"Please Xun Lingjun, please take your family, country, military and horses into consideration, focus on the unification of the four seas, and send food and grass as early as possible. Then Xu Huang will be very lucky, and the three armies will be very lucky!"

"Huang, on behalf of Hefei's 350,000 soldiers and horses, please bow to Xun Lingjun again and send us food and grass as soon as possible!"

"Remember! Remember!"

"Captain Qi, Xu Huang!"

Liu Ye loosened his fingers, and the letter fell to the ground like fallen leaves.

Liu Ye leaned back and leaned on the chair with a backrest, suddenly feeling exhausted.

It was a feeling of despair to the extreme, with no hope at all!

"Xun Lingjun, you also know the situation in Jiuzhou. Where can I collect food and grass to come here now?"

Liu Ye's eyes became as empty as a phantom, and he murmured: "If it is postponed for another three months, when this year's food and grass come down, not to mention Hefei, I can also support the entire Southern Expedition troops. But now it's making things difficult for me. Got it!"

"If taxes are forcibly collected, if they are not paid in full, the people will complain. If thieves appear in large numbers and there is unrest in the rear, the Prime Minister's southern expedition will still be unable to continue!"

Xun Yu was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and stared at Liu Ye, his eyes looking serious and serious!

"Zi Yang, the Prime Minister suddenly divided his troops to the east. What do you think of this strategy?"
